The third night...
Anne and Gus were already sitting in a carriage and heading to their next destination.
Of course, the carriage was not hired for money, but was the car of a kind old priest and his daughter that the two met on the road. Perhaps it was a pity that the other party saw them rushing all night, so they invited him.
Originally, Gus didn't want to cause trouble for others and refused.
But Anne ran up first regardless of the matter. Then, the old priest and the other's daughter invited each other many times. In addition, it was indeed a way, Gus had to climb into the other's carriage with a dark face, and nap in the carriage with Anne and the old priest's daughter Clater.
"Mr. Gus..."
"The wound on your body looks so deep. Is it really okay?"
"Do you want to bandage it?"
"We have some medicinal materials in our car, which should work."
While the three of them were shaking forward with the carriage, the old priest's daughter, Clater, had snatched the strong Gus and his hideous and terrifying giant sword several times, and finally couldn't help but speak timidly and asked kindly.
"It's fine!"
(*^▽^*)
"Sister Crete, you don't know?"
(ω)
"He has holy light. As long as he wants, he can heal the wound directly at any time!"
(￣～￣) Chew!
"Don't pay attention to him! Look, there are delicious fried pine nuts here, so I'll give you a few!"
☆(o*ω)
As he said that, before he could wait for the strange uncle Gus who had a dark face and was as if everyone owed him millions of gold coins, he spoke. Anne beside him waved her hand and said indifferently, and stuffed a handful of pine nuts into the hands of the young lady Crete.
"Holy Light?"
“Is it God’s blessing?”
Crete had little understanding of that word, and at the same time he could not fully understand the meaning of what Anne had just said.
"But……"
"Since you have that magical ability, Mr. Nagus, why don't you use it?"
Then, the curious young girl Claiter thought for a while, then continued to look at Gus timidly, while not hiding the look of expectation in her eyes.
“…”
Gus looked up at the girl Crete, then touched her one-eyed and the other's clear and ignorant eyes before slowly twisting back again.
"because……"
"That's the ability given by the devil, I don't want to use it."
Finally, Gus said this, and looked at Anne, who was glaring at him angrily on the sacks of the bags sitting opposite the carriage with some goods, then closed his mouth and stopped talking.
“!!”
"Evil, the power given by the demon?"
"But……"
"Are there really demons in this world?"
Clater, who was not very experienced in the world, obviously didn't believe Gus' words, just bit his finger, his face full of incredible surprise.
"Of course there are demons!"
()
"But..."
(ω)
"His holy light was not given by the devil!"
(-)
At this time, without waiting for the dull Hulugus to slander herself, Annie hurriedly explained in a crisp voice.
"ah!"
"Is there really a demon?"
"That……"
"Anne, have you seen it?"
First, he exclaimed, and then, after receiving Anne's affirmative answer, Crete, of course, continued to ask:
"besides!"
"Mr. Gus's injury was caused by the demon?"
Speaking of which, Clater had never seen anyone like Gus, with countless deep wounds on his body, but he looked like he was fine. Moreover, the other party could carry the giant sword that was at least several hundred kilograms and walk freely in the rain. She felt very impressed when she thought about that situation now, and couldn't help but peek at the other party several times.
"Um……"
(`)
"It should be considered right?"
(^▽^)
Seeing that Clater seemed very interested, Annie thought about it, and while she was idle, she began to tell the glorious deeds of Gus fighting against the demon leader of Kaka City the night before yesterday and killing and purifying him.
turn out to be……
Yesterday, when Anne signed a contract with the old lord, Gus, who was angry and full of food and drink, resolutely left the tavern and came to the city gate. He ignored the fingers of the town citizens and guards, leaned against his own dragon-slaying sword and sat directly in the mud beside the city gate and waited.
Then, it was indeed similar to what he expected!
At midnight, the leader of the Kaka City, wearing a hideous snake-shaped plate armor, a black horse under his crotch, and a scarlet cloak, came to the front of the town with hundreds of knights, and resolutely launched an attack on the town where the gate was closed and panicked.
However, when they were about to break the city gate and slaughter the city, Gus took action.
He held his giant sword of hundreds of pounds in his hand, and his body was passively flashing with golden light, and rushed directly into the enemy's forward formation and soon caused a bloody storm!
Although the villain knights of Kaka City were superb and well-equipped, they encountered Gus, who had excellent results and had the strength of 100 people in the mercenary period. In addition, Gus was blessed with the terrifying dragon-slaying giant sword and the blessing of the holy light, so the cavalry of Kaka City at that time could be described as the word "extremely tragic".
Under the terrifying giant sword whirlwind, no matter how thick the cavalry is wearing, the ending is often the result of people and horses being cut off or smashed into pieces and broken!
Not long after, after killing dozens of enemy vanguard cavalry, facing the terrifying momentum and terrifying combat power, the evil men of Kaka City also began to be frightened and had to pull back one after another and no one dared to move forward easily.
So!
The leader of the Kaka City, wearing a hideous snake-shaped plate armor, a black horse under his crotch, and a scarlet cloak, had to take action himself and launch a charge against Gus.
What is surprising is that although the leader of the Kaka City, wearing a hideous snake-shaped plate armor, a black horse under his crotch and a scarlet cloak, was very majestic and looked very imposing when he appeared, when the two sides contacted each other, he even had a huge sword and even his horse was slapped on the not-too-high wall of the town by Gus and smashed it hard, which caused the soldiers inside and outside the city to be in an instant.
Unfortunately, although Gus' attacks smashed the leader of Kaka City and his horse into the city wall, and if it were ordinary people who had already turned into meat paste with war horses, the guy could still crawl out of the broken wall. After losing to Gus' battle, he turned into a very ferocious and strong four-legged monster snake with a thick and terrifying tail!
Then, the two sides naturally fought again, and Gus began to fall into a disadvantage after the other party showed his true feelings and retreated step by step.
Then, when the soldiers who were shocked inside and outside the city and some old lords felt that Gus would eventually die. When they all thought a terrible massacre was about to be staged in that town, unexpectedly, Gus, who was beaten to retreat and vomited blood and was about to die, burst out with a dazzling golden light after roaring?
Then, Gus, who was like a chicken blood and had his injuries healed in an instant, began to turn around and defeat the demon leader of Kaka City and took advantage of the opportunity to cut the opponent into two pieces in half with one sword?
Immediately after Gus asked the other party about some of the situations but failed, he used the golden light to burn and purify the other party, and then rushed to the Kaka City cavalry team, which was shocked and had no idea what to react, venting their anger.
The two sides fought for nearly an hour, and in the chaos, Gus killed at least hundreds of knights on the other side, and completely defeated the evil men in Kaka City who were in trouble with one person, causing them to completely lose their fighting spirit and flee around crying and crying for their parents.
And when the dawn of the next day came, there was no enemy in the wilderness outside the town except for the broken bodies of people and horses sprinkled everywhere.
...
"ah!"
"Is it actually the man-eating demon leader in Kaka City?"
"He was wiped out by Mr. Gus?"
"Really?"
Crete exclaimed, then looked at Gus and became even more admiring, and did not hide the girl's admiration for heroes in her eyes.
Especially, when she already has a certain favorable impression of Gus?
"Um!"
"If that's the case, boy, you're so good!"
“God will bless you!”
Of course, the old priest who was driving in front heard the "story" Annie said, so while he was amazed, he couldn't help but turn around and praise Gus in the car.
It was not the first time he heard the name of the man-eating demon in Kaka City. But now, when he heard that the other party was actually destroyed by Gus, no matter whether the matter was true or false, he would not be stingy in verbal praise.
“…”
Unfortunately, Gus didn't talk much, just leaned against the carriage with his eyes closed, not caring about his affairs at all.
"Is that sword?"
"The weapon that killed the demon in Kaka City?"
As he said that, Crete again headed towards the exaggerated giant sword that Gus placed on the carriage, like a door panel and was sitting on a bench by the other party.
"If it were Mr. Gus, I think it must be true, right?"
"That's great!"
After watching for a while, Crete smiled and exclaimed again.
If a mercenary bragged about that kind of thing in front of Crete and her father, she probably wouldn't believe it too much, but if it were Gus, and if he saw the other party's terrible giant sword that could make the horse a little unbearable to bear the load when put in the car, she would still be very credible.
After all, if such a sword is smashed down on his head, ordinary knights and horses will be smashed to pieces. So, in Clater's opinion, even the kind of man-eating demon must be unable to withstand its slashing attack.
"Of course it's true!"
(ˇεˇ)
"But he is still a little stupid. If he hadn't been unwilling to let go of the power of holy light, no one of the villain knights of Kaka City that night would have thought of running away!"
(ˉ▽￣￞］)Tsk~~
Unlike Clater's face full of admiration and praise, in Anne's opinion, what Gus did was still too bad!
Not to mention anything else, if it were her fool Tibers, the enemy cavalry who was slow to react would not be able to escape in the end!
Now, there are at least four or five hundred people who are said to have done evil and they run away, and only one or two hundred are dead. In Anne's opinion, that kind of record is really not enough.
So, if the full score is 100 points, then Annie can only give the other party a maximum of 30, which is the kind that is seriously failed and needs to take the make-up exam. There are really no more.
“!!”
"You don't have to worry about my business!"
At this moment, unexpectedly, when he heard Annie's comment, Gus suddenly opened his eyes and glared at Annie fiercely with his one-eye.
“!!”
Unfortunately, his fierce appearance certainly did not scare Anne, but instead scared Clater on the side.
“Um…”
"Mr. Gus, look at your appearance..."
"You should be a mercenary, right?"
At this time, when he heard Gus speak again, the old priest driving the vehicle ahead suddenly turned his head and asked in a deep voice.
“…”
"It used to be, but then it wasn't, but now..."
"Can you say it's again?"
"It's probably the case!"
After a pause, Gus did not hide it, but said with such uncertainty.
"cough!"
"I don't agree with the kind of business that kills people and receives bounty."
"Cause and effect reincarnation may be when it will be your turn, so..."
"Young man, you should think more about yourself."
He shook his head. Although he knew that the words were not good when they knew each other and had a deep slight slightest discourse, the old priest who was driving could not help but sigh and persuade Gus with kindness.
"You don't understand..."
"I have a reason to do that!"
Thinking of all the tragic deaths of the Eagle Group and thinking of Cascariot who is still crazy and is being taken care of by Rickett, Gus's originally dazed eyes instantly became more and more determined and hesitated to refuse the other party's advice.
He did work as a mercenary before, and knew the cruelty of mercenaries. Later, he was a nobleman for a short time during the most glorious period of the Eagle Group. Later, in order to pursue his ridiculous goal, he left the capital and gave up the life that could have become a good one.
And now...
He was just a revenge spirit full of blood, fighting, sin and death!
perhaps……
He is no longer considered an individual at the moment, and of course, he is not even a mercenary!
Because, he is not killing people now for money, and others will not give him money!
"Why don't I understand?"
"I understand that kind of thing very much!"
"You don't know? I have a nephew who said he wanted to use a sword to make a name for himself, to make a name for himself, and then he went to become a mercenary regardless of the situation..."
"But in a war five years ago, he lost his life and ended up in a nameless wilderness where he didn't even have a named tombstone!"
"If he didn't do that..."
"Now you should have a wife and a child, and live a happy life..."
Speaking of this, the old priest sighed again, and his emotions began to become a little lonely, with a look of emotion.
“…”
Crete, who was originally in high spirits, couldn't help but feel a little sad. It was obvious that she recognized the nephew in her father's mouth.
"Isn't that good?"
"At least……"
"He did what he wanted to do, died for it, and reached the end of his life, and that was happiness."
"Not like me..."
“…”
As he was talking, Gus suddenly stopped talking, and even lowered his head and stared blankly at the wooden boards of the carriage, not knowing what he had thought of again.
"Mr. Gus..."
Seeing Gus' condition, Clater knew that the other party was in a bad mood, of course he had no intention of disturbing him, but just gave him a worried look.
"Anne?"
"Can you tell me about other things about Mr. Gus?"
Then, seeing that Gus didn't want to talk and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, Crete had to walk to Anne and leaned over and asked quietly.
"Other things?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Um……"
(ˇˇ)
"It seems that it's only been a few days since they know him, and they don't know anything about him!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Anne said she couldn't help because what she said was indeed the truth.
"That……"
"You said, are there really demons in this world?"
"Do they all look like the demon of Kaka City, and look like a four-legged snake?"
Clater, who was a little unwilling to give up, thought for a while, of course, continued to ask about other things.
"Of course not!"
(︵`)
"Some of the demons are indeed very hideous and ugly, but some are still very beautiful!"
(゜▽＾*)
In fact, if Anne hadn't been worried that the other party wouldn't understand, she wouldn't want to define something like "devil" casually, because that definition is relative.
For example, in front of delicious animals such as chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, humans, such as humans, stripped their cute chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep naked, and then put them on the fire to roast them. Isn’t they the kind of evil demon that is unforgivable?
(…)
(●￣￣●)
(Tibers agrees very much, because it is not like humans eating chicken, duck, cattle and sheep? However, unlike humans eating chicken, duck, cattle and sheep, it is not very different from male and females. It only likes females with fine skin and tender flesh, while males and old ones do not like it very much.)
“!!”
"And there are beautiful demons?"
“How beautiful is it?”
Crete exclaimed, and she had never heard of that before, so she continued to ask curiously.
“It’s pretty anyway!”
(lll￢ω￢)
"Even, there are people who are as cute as others!"
()hey-hey!
"By the way!"
|ω)
"That bad guy Gus, he kept saying that he was a demon!"
(ψｏ▽′)o
"so……"
华华
"Sister Crete, are you afraid?"
()
As he said that, Anne pretended to be sinister and evil and came to the other party and asked intimidation.
“!!”
"Ha ha!"
"Annie, stop kidding!"
At first he was stunned, then Crete covered his mouth and laughed, saying that he didn't believe it.
"Anne."
"Let's talk about something else..."
So, in this way, the old priest in front was leisurely driving the carriage. While Gus was sleeping in the carriage, the Clater, who should be sixteen or seventeen years old but was still innocent and scattered, pestered Anne and began to whisper.
Outside, the night gradually became deeper.
However, this lonely carriage was still shaking forward on the dark countryside mud road, and could not help but make the monotonous and particularly harsh sound of wood rubbing that was particularly harsh at night.
